Do the sims auto-add when you click on them? If so, then I believe that is due to the Attractive LTR trait. If not, then your sims were probably being gossiped about.

There are many situations where the game auto-adds sims to the active's relationship panel. Some examples that come to mind are co-workers, fellow students, interactions with homeless NPCs, yes on sims clicked on when the active has a decent amount of charisma, or even without the clicking but just when being in the same room as complete strangers. I don't know of any way to prevent this, but the RelationshipPanel mod makes it easy to ctrl-click to manually remove the unwanted entires on the panel.

Answer to first question of yours, no, they don't.

Well, it just adds random sims that I totally don't know.

Also, they add high school sims that my sims (there are no teenagers) don't even know.

Co-Workers, that's fine but, anyone other then co-worker, automatic add them in relationship panel is not fine.

Also, father sim (4 charisma level), elder son sim (3 charisma level) youngest son sim (0 charisma level).

Also, they have never been in the same room as complete strangers. Because I turn off autonomy for my active sims and I only let them go to work and come back home.

Even I did ctrl-click, they get added back or random sim still added back.

The world lot can count as a "room," so technically they can be "same place" as other sims coming at going elsewhere across the world at that time. Again, I don't know of any way to stop that from happening and am not sure what the logic behind it is other than EA wants our sims to be friendly (or unfriendly) with as many sims as possible.

I usually ignore it and clean up the relationship panels only when they get so heavy that I can't find whoever I might be looking for in the mix.

Oh, ok.

I wonder if there is option to do it in the one of NRaas Mod, for example, Debug Enabler/Story Progression/etc.

This isn't preventable. So much of the relationship code does this to cut down on error checking. It's very lazy EA coding.
